What should a driver avoid when performing reverse maneuvers in a bus?

When performing reverse maneuvers in a bus, backing up too quickly is particularly dangerous. This situation limits the driver's ability to adequately react to potential hazards, such as pedestrians, other vehicles, or obstacles, that may appear unexpectedly. A slow, careful reverse allows the driver to maintain control and have a better reaction time.

In contrast, looking in mirrors, using alarms, and checking surroundings are crucial practices while reversing. Mirrors provide visibility of blind spots, alarms alert others nearby to the bus's movements, and checking surroundings ensures that the path is clear and safe. Therefore, limiting the speed of the reverse maneuver is essential for safety and effective vehicle operation.
